With an emphasis on beverages from the Prohibition era, Congress Street Up's Savannah Cocktail Classes, housed inside the American Prohibition Museum, provide a hands-on chance to learn the craft of cocktail-making. For individuals who wish to improve their mixology abilities while taking in the distinctive ambience of a speakeasy reminiscent of the 1920s, these classes are ideal.

During Prohibition, when alcohol was so strong and astringent that home brewers and bartenders began mixing mixers with the alcohol to make it more palatable, cocktail culture emerged! In keeping with the heritage of those pioneer mixologists, we will teach you the art of crafting authentic Prohibition Era concoctions in our speakeasy.

Authentic bar equipment is used during this two-hour event. You may make Prohibition Era drinks that will wow your friends for years to come by learning from our skilled bartenders.

A skilled barman with expertise of both traditional and contemporary cocktail methods leads each lesson. A selection of traditional concoctions, including some of the most well-known ones from the Prohibition era, will be shown for you to make.

Discover the background to well-known drinks including the Sidecar, Bee's Knees, Old Fashioned, and more. The lecturer will go into the components, procedures, and tricks that bartenders employed to make these concoctions when alcohol was outlawed.

You will have the opportunity to create your own drinks in the session with the instructor's assistance. Participants can shake, swirl, and decorate their creations with this interactive aspect, all while receiving recommendations to help them refine their skill.

Additionally, you will learn how to mix drinks of a professional calibre using a variety of bar instruments, such as strainers, jiggers, and cocktail shakers.

You'll get to taste your concoctions after you've made them and contrast them with those of your peers. Because of this, the experience is enjoyable and social, making it ideal for individuals, couples, or groups. You might also sample more cocktails made by the teacher, depending on the session, which will give you a better idea of the variety of libations that were popular during the Prohibition era.

The instructor will tell tales of Prohibition and the part speakeasies like Congress Street Up had in preserving the cocktail tradition during this turbulent period throughout the course. With its retro furnishings and moody lighting, the speakeasy setting offers a genuine environment for discovering the 1920s underground drink culture and hidden pubs.
